yes, texas is the best state in america. it is not going to be the best state that creates jobs in the future if we do not lower the burden on business. we definitely lost more jobs in texas this year than we gained. we've lost 300,000 jobs in texas alone-year. that is not a record to be proud of. our unemployment rate is higher than every state in the surrounding area. i think the government -- governor talks about how good things are in texas and texas is the greatest day in america, but if we do not deal with the problems in this state, which are not going to remain the best state in america. hiding from it is not the way to make it better. >> as we move through the night, if you want to talk about what people say to create jobs, we can do that. >> cut business expenses. if you are adding business expenses, like the governor is, they are not going to create jobs. lowering taxes at the federal jobs, we're all thinking the same thing. >> i think it is important to point out that we have lost jobs all those jobs government -

america wouldn't be america without its entrepreneurs. yet entrepreneurs are too often lost in glib economic policy discussions that center on interest rates, large-scale banks. these polls instruments >> institutions are not the primary engines of economic growth and the advances of human welfare. only new companies bringing forth new jobs and innovations and creative ideas are the bedrock of what our recovery will be. increasingly i am pleased to report policy makers are beginning to recognize the vital role of entrepreneurs. happily their heightened interest is due in large part to the foundation's funding of research over the last six years. even when policy makers speak of entrepreneurship, it is most often in abstract terms. how much they contribute to this or that indicator. even that perspective can't be taken for granted. the schools down played or ignored the role of entrepreneurs preferring instead to see all economic activity it is a creature of three fundamental forces, big government, big unions and big companies. forgotten

that is reforming health care and health insurance here in america. [applause] believe me, i know how big of a lift this has been. i see the polls. i get 40,000 letters every day and i read a stack of them each night. i catch the occasional blog post or cable clip that breathlessly declares what somethingñlmeans for a political party without talking much about what it means for a country. i know that the virtues of this legislation for americans with insurance and americans without it have been entirely obscured by fear and distraction. but i also know what happens once we get this done, once we sign this bill into law. the american people will suddenly learn that this bill does things they like and doesn't do things people have been trying to say it does. the worst fears will prove groundless and the american people's hope for a fair shake on their insurance company for quality, affordable health care they need will finally be realized. this year alone, this reform will bend some of the worst practices of the insurance industry forever. they will no
